Storage Solution for Make-up Brushes

Hello ladies! The weather has been really bad in Luzon. I wasn't able to go to work because of the flooding, and there are areas which are not passable. I work near Marikina River, so it is really scary, I would not want to jeopardize my safety since I don't even have hazard pay. I'm done securing the house for possible flooding, (Yes! Even our "frigider" is now upstairs) and since I can't go out and help because it's flooding outside, I am devoting my time to my dear blog, whom I have not paid much attention lately.

Don't you just hate it when your make up brushes accumulate dust? As much as you want to keep them on their respective brush rolls, it's too much of a hassle to take them out every time you have to use them. That made me ditch the acrylic and netted holder I once had for my brushes and replace it with this one:

TADAH!!
If you notice, it's a holder for kitchen utensils (i.e spoons, forks, knives etc.) Found it while I was doing a little grocery at Shopwise months ago. And the good thing about it: IT ONLY COSTS 69.00 PESOS!! I place it by my desk so it will be easy to reach out when doing make up. When I do make up else where, that is the time I use the leather brush rolls. Here is how it looks like with the cover:

It keeps things tidy! :)
I am still on the look out for a perfect brush holder. I have this acrylic box in mind that is used for storing special toys, but I still could not find one. I last saw one at Toy Kingdom. This works out well for my brushes while I am still searching for that dream brush holder. Muji has tons of acrylic holders  especially for make-up but I am not ready to shell out that much money for one yet.

I would love to know how you store your brushes, do comment here as it may help me find the perfect one. Hope you enjoyed this random blog post!
